Music Genre Study








Our class finished up our poetry unit last week in Readers Workshop. Students really enjoyed learning about the art of poetry and relating it to music. This week we have started our Music Genre study. We are focusing on learning on 4 music genres: rap, jazz, classical, country. Students are reviewing the strategies (visualizing, inferring, connections, schema) we have learned all year in 2nd grade and applying these to our music genre. Our class LOVES music!

Butterflies!



In science, we have been observing how caterpillars change into butterflies. Students have been learning about the differenct stages the butterfly goes through and have come into class each morning excited to see the changes!
